THE BEAUTIFUL ISLE
East of Hong Kong, north of the Philippines and south of Japan and Korea, this small island nation was known to early Portuguese sailors as Ilha Formosa – the Beautiful Isle.
With attractions that stretch from Qing Dynasty-era temples to labyrinthine night markets, alpine peaks and alluring offshore islands, Taiwan should certainly be on your radar.
Ask us to design your luxury, tailor-made itinerary, and you’ll find yourself in the ultra-modern capital of Taipei. Eating your way through a dizzying array of cafes, restaurants and tantalising street food (think sticky rice dumplings and flame-torched beef) and delving into the treasure trove of Chinese history that is the National Palace Museum.
For Studio Ghibli fans, getting lost amidst the Spirited Away-style streets and teahouses of Juifen might be the most enchanting part of your Taiwanese holiday. But you could also learn about the traditional arts in Yilan, or join the monks for prayer at the famous Fo Guang Shan Monastery in Kaohsiung, Taiwan’s Maritime Capital.
Beyond its cities, the island will surprise you with spectacular marble gorges, mist-shrouded forests and towering sea cliffs. Watching the sunrise over the misty emerald waters of Sun Moon Lake is essential, but you could also find yourself sipping oolong at a tea plantation, or bathing in the natural hot springs of the Thermal Valley.
The opportunities are abundant. And thanks to an efficient transport system, it’s easy to get around and explore.
